About the Get a Chance to Win $100,000 Through The Africa Food Prize (2026)

The Africa Food Prize recognizes extraordinary women, men, and institutions whose outstanding contributions to African agriculture are forging a new era of sustainable food security and economic opportunity that elevates all Africans. * * * Stay in the loop! Get weekly updates on new scholarships offerings here. * * * The Africa Food Prize evolved from the Yara Prize, which was established in 2005. With agriculture emerging as Africa’s best bet for increasing food security and expanding economic opportunity, a $100,000 award called the Africa Food Prize, has been created to inspire innovations in the field and the marketplace. Today, in places like Ghana and elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa there are glimpses of the enormous progress African farmers can make when they have what they need to succeed, and how the food they produce and the income they earn can send good vibrations throughout the economy. But many challenges remain. In addition to a dearth of financing, millions of farmers lack understanding of good agricultural practices and they have limited or no access to high quality agricultural inputs, safe storage, and basic processing, which collude to stifle production and income opportunities. **Application deadline:** May 16, 2022 ### Table of contents - [Benefits of The Africa Food Prize](https://scholarshipsforafricans.com/get-a-chance-to-win-100000-through-the-africa-food-prize/#h-benefits-of-the-africa-food-prize) - [Eligibility Criteria for Africans](https://scholarshipsforafricans.com/get-a-chance-to-win-100000-through-the-africa-food-prize/#h-eligibility-criteria-for-africans) - [How to Apply](https://scholarshipsforafricans.com/get-a-chance-to-win-100000-through-the-africa-food-prize/#h-how-to-apply) ## Benefits of The Africa Food Prize The Africa Food Prize Committee chooses the Africa Food Prize winner by unanimous vote.
